I’m looking to rent to travel nurses on furnished finder bc my location lends itself so well to that group.

@Dillon Onsager Where's the duplex located?

Hello everyone,I am from Alexandria, VA located at the border of Washington DC and Prince George County, MD working for a kitchen and bath remodeling company since 2017 known as European Granite Design that also fabricates granite, quartz, marble and quartzite countertops since 2003.I'm experienced Sales and project manager also designs kitchens & bathrooms for remodeling.Using my expertise and connections I want to start working for myself flipping old condos or houses in the Washington DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia (DMV) area.

What neighborhood is the duplex located in? 

I have some short term rentals located in College Station, Bryan Tx home of Texas A&M.

This decision turned out to be a tough learning experience due to the location and condition of the property.

@Tayvion Payton here's some useful info:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Additionally, in my market, a lot of these properties are located in areas where price-to-rent ratios are extremely favorable.

I would rent or sell that condo and buy a duplex in a class A or B location in KC.
